Live247 focuses on keeping scheduled videos online. Space-Node keeps the full streaming environment online, so your schedule can include files, scenes, overlays, live windows and platform-specific settings.
Short verdict
If you use Live247 as a scheduler, Space-Node can replace it with OBS plus Advanced Scene Switcher. The upside is that you are not limited to scheduled MP4 playback; you can include live sources, browser overlays, multi-platform RTMP and manual changes whenever needed.

Plain comparison, no hosting jargon.
The real decision is workflow, not just price. These notes cover the parts people usually miss before moving from a hosted streaming tool to an OBS server.
Live247-style scheduling maps to OBS scenes, playlists and time rules. You can still run a weekly schedule, but you are not limited to uploaded video blocks.
The missing piece on many 24/7 channels is recovery. Build a fallback scene first, then automate the normal content around it.
Use browser access for simple changes and RDP for deeper setup. That keeps non-technical staff away from server settings while still giving an operator full control.
Basic 24/7 playlist
Good for 720p loops and simple scheduled replay blocks.
1080p scheduled channel
Best default for Live247 users moving to OBS with GPU encoding.
Live plus replay
Better headroom for 1080p60, multiple sources and heavier overlays.
Morning playlist, afternoon replay block, evening live show, overnight loop. OBS can switch scenes by time.
A countdown scene before the event, then live browser capture, then an automatic replay scene after it ends.
Loop announcements all week, switch to a live service on Sunday, then replay the service afterward.
Live247 is a remote scheduler. Space-Node is a remote broadcast room. You can still schedule videos, but you also get the mixing desk, the overlays and the emergency buttons.
If your workflow is 100% calendar uploads and you do not care about OBS, Live247 is very direct. Space-Node is better when the schedule needs live moments, visual changes or platform-specific tuning.
Skip the extra click. These are the three plans most people use when moving from a loop-style streaming tool to a real OBS server.
€19.99/mo
720p30 OBS loop, music channel, radio, slideshow or lightweight browser-source stream.
€29.99/mo
Most chosen: 1080p30 or 720p60 with dedicated GPU, overlays and OBS setup help.
€49.99/mo
1080p60, 1440p, multistream RTMP and heavier browser-source scenes with NVENC headroom.
Your streaming server runs from our Hengelo, NL location with AMS-IX connectivity. That keeps the upload path short to the major European ingest points, so OBS can hold a steady bitrate without relying on your home connection.
Estimated ping to ingest
Typical EU routing, final route can vary by ISP and platform.

No. Once configured, the server keeps running. You only log in when changing files, schedules or stream settings.
You create the event in YouTube Studio, then paste that event stream key into OBS on the Space-Node server.
We recommend a fallback scene with a safe loop or branded holding screen so the stream never goes black.
Platinum is the common choice for 1080p30. Diamond is better if you need 1080p60 or heavy browser overlays.
More control than Live247, still simple for non-tech users. Delivered in 2-60 minutes, with a 3-day money-back window.
